About the maker:

Mark Hanvey has been working with wood for over twenty years. His work demonstrates a very high standard of craftsmanship and design. Although introduced to woodturning at school, he is largely self-taught and, after leaving school, he served a traditional apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker. With these skills at his disposal and a clear respect for the material, Mark has won a number of awards, including the Craftsmanship Award 2009 from The Crafts Council of Ireland.
